    Seriously well played.

    I don't disagree, it is a bit useless. Like you, I won't be paying much attention to those games.

    English Domestic Season 2024

    I am guessing Jacks and Curran because they will be in the England t20 side against the Aussies later this week?

    Oh they are definitely weaker. The balance also looks shot both with the batting lineup and bowling. I have probably said it a few times, but they need to have a bit more of a look at the batting talents in a similar way that they are identifying young bowlers. I know Lawrence has been stuffed...

    No, ridiculous in my view.

    English international football appears to be largely on domestic tv as well outside the tournaments.

    I actually thought for the most part, that England had batted much more sensibly, earlier in this series, still scoring quickly enough playing conventionally, but it should be said that for the most part it was Root doing his thing. However, that is not the case this match and it has been...

    That was unlucky. Surprised it nipped back so much.

    Can’t believe this win viz. I would make Sri Lanka 60-40 but not if England somehow got 250 lead.

    We still need to find a batter or two who are better than Lawrence who are not already in the side more than anything.The too three have been badly exposed this series, regardless of Pope’s knock first dig and Brook has been off colour, to say the least.

    The last few overs have been far less good from Sri Lanka, from the leg side trap and Smith having got going, admittedly he has played some glorious shots. The 200+ lead is coming into the picture.

    I am largely in agreement. Too many of the batters show a lack of adaptability.

    probably but, after coming through Friday with an above average score given the conditions, the batting since the start of yesterday has been woeful and more experienced players have hardly been blameless.

    If England can get the lead over 200 it would be tricky given the Oval’s history for fourth innings. I am fairly cross at the application of the batsmen across the match.

    Very poor test from Brook. Good bowling from Fernando but this should be a bit of a wake up call for rook.

    The talk is about the fine line between aggression and recklessness. That line has been crossed by too many batsmen this match

    Well that was fun while it lasted from Lawrence, but I hope that the next time England are looking for an opener, they find someone more complete than Lawrence.

    Agreed on that. He needs to learn the ropes and will do that far more against these type of players than Windies.

    I actually thought Bashir bowled quite well against them yesterday from my view in the ground. Of course he had that dolly dropped to. I take the point that this series was always going to be tougher for him, but I don’t think he’s been terrible.
